[1] For this crime, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. [1]

He was also arrested in the past for wire fraud and other offenses. [4] Hall was released from prison into home confinement due to the pandemic, and while in home confinement he arranged for a cocaine deal with undercover agents and was arrested once again in his apartment in April 2021. [4]

Hall's son, Alexander, was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2007 for shooting at and murdering a random passerby in anger after getting kicked out of a club for smoking. [3]
